Epilepsy Foundation of Massachusetts & Rhode Island

Support Groups

Updated 7.25.08

The Epilepsy Foundation of Massachusetts and Rhode Island provides adults, ages 18 and over, living with epilepsy an opportunity to share common experiences through a supportive group environment.  We also provide families the opportunity to share common experiences, network and support one another through Parent and Family Support Network (PFSN) Group gatherings.  We continue to strive to establish support and information groups throughout our region. 

If you have questions regarding support groups or are interested in attending or starting a support group please contact Susan Welby at support@efmri.org or
call 617-506-6041 x 19
